Fish Eggs Released into Ganga to Conserve Species
Imagine the Ganga River is like a big home for fish, but some of the fish are in trouble.
To help them, scientists released 75,000 tiny fish eggs into the river!
These eggs will grow into fish like Katla, Rohu, and Mrigal.
This is like planting seeds to grow more of these fish so they don't disappear.
The scientists and local people are working together to keep the river clean and safe for the fish.
This project, called Namami Gange, is about protecting the river and all the cool creatures that live in it.
Everyone wants the river to stay healthy for the fish and for the people who live nearby.
75,000 fish eggs released into the Ganga River at Buxar.
The release was organized by ICAR-Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute (CIFRI).
The eggs were of Indian major carps: Katla, Rohu, and Mrigal.
The event was part of the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) project.
